(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-08-11) Amanca Huallanca, Kimberly Dayana; Marroquín García, Lorenzo Enrique
El siguiente trabajo tuvo como fin principal determinar la relación entre el estado nutricional y la salud bucal en personas con necesidades especiales del CEPAHE en Lima, 2024. La población del estudio estuvo compuesta por 200 participantes de entre 5 y 17 años con necesidades especiales, mientras que la muestra, 132 participantes, fue seleccionada mediante un muestreo probabilístico aleatorio simple. La metodología adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo básico, y se basó en un diseño observacional, transversal y correlacional. En los hallazgos, no se evidenció una relación estadísticamente significativa entre el estado nutricional y la salud bucal, específicamente con respecto a la caries dental (p=0.332), la gingivitis (p=0.092) y la higiene bucal (p=0.550). Sin embargo, se identificaron tendencias importantes, como la mayor prevalencia de caries moderada en personas con normopeso (21.2%) y mayores niveles de gingivitis moderada en este mismo grupo (40.2%). Las personas con obesidad presentaron menores porcentajes en estas categorías, destacándose un menor impacto en las condiciones de salud bucal. En conclusión, aunque no se encontró evidencia estadística de una relación entre el estado nutricional y la salud bucal, se subraya la importancia de considerar factores contextuales, como los hábitos alimentarios y la educación en higiene oral, en la planificación de intervenciones dirigidas a mejorar la salud bucal en personas con necesidades especiales.

Concordance of nutritional risk methods in patients of a PNP Hospital - 2019.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-12-22) Mora Negrón, Ambar Magaly; Dávila Córdova, Jennifer Estefania
Introduction: Currently there is no nutritional screening method considered to be of choice to identify the nutritional risk of hospitalized adult patients. According to evidence, the longer the period of hospital stay, the greater the risk of worsening malnutrition. The Cardona method and the NRS 2002 method are nutritional screening tools to detect Nutritional Risk that, in several studies in adults, have been shown to be the most appropriate due to their feasibility, specificity and predictive value. Objective: Compare the nutritional risk detected by the CARDONA method and NRS 2002 to identify if both tools are equivalent for clinical practice. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with the observation technique in 30 hospitalized adults from a hospital in Lima, Peru. The CARDONA method and NRS 2002 were compared to each other to determine their agreement in detecting nutritional risk, using the Kappa index. Results: It was found that 23% have Nutritional Risk with the Cardona Method and 36.7% have Nutritional Risk with the NRS 2002 method. The age group that most frequently enters the PNP hospital is 45 to 64 years old and in mostly men. The comparison between both nutritional assessment tools showed an acceptable agreement (K=0.378), which means that the two tools are not strongly related, that is, they are different. Regarding the NRS 2002 variables, if the patient is seriously ill, if there is an association (Sig.=0.029) between the variable and the result by the NRS 2002 method. Regarding the variable deterioration of nutritional status in the final evaluation, if there is association between the characteristic deterioration of nutritional status and the result by the NRS method (Sig.=0.00). It is recommended to use either method due to its association with the results.
